Chapter 242 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 27
Zhao Honglian's eyes turned red with jealousy. Why? Why?
She had a strong urge to immediately run to the police station and file a formal complaint against Lu Yingniang.
In the end, however, he helplessly loosened his fist.
Especially after hearing her mother-in-law say that the police officers from the local police station had also come to buy talismans.
Sigh! I'm still too kind.
Forget it, I'll ignore her.
She didn't want to remind Lu Yingniang anymore; with such great abilities, how could she possibly be unlucky?!
Ha ha!
A cold smile crept onto Zhao Honglian's lips, and a malicious thought even arose in her heart.
She watched as her mother-in-law continued to boast about how effective and wonderful Lu Yingniang's amulet was.
She was so annoyed by what she heard that she wanted to retort several times.
In the end, however, he gritted his teeth and sighed helplessly.
Because she knew that if she spoke up, her mother-in-law would definitely get angry and scold her again.
Not only her mother-in-law, but now even her husband is infatuated with Lu Yingniang.
I argued with myself several times, but I just couldn't say anything wrong about Lu Yingniang.
This left her feeling powerless, exhausted, and lost.
In reality, many things are different from those in my previous life.
The son's fever subsided smoothly, and although Lu Yingniang was reported beforehand, she returned home unharmed that same day.
They were not fined.
In his previous life, the village chief's youngest son didn't go to the back mountain. Instead, he suffered from heatstroke and stayed home for a few days. There was no messy incident of him being violated by a fox spirit.
There was no story of the entire village, young and old, going up the mountain to burn fox spirit offerings in the graveyard.
Although her husband had been so certain last time that he had seen the three-tailed fox spirit with his own eyes.
But she scoffed at it; Zhao Honglian simply didn't believe it.
Even if what her husband said is true, that foxes have three tails, it's just an individual mutation, nothing special.
As for the previous report about Lu Yingniang, two versions of the story emerged in the village.
One theory is that Hu Ziqiang heard about the thugs' conspiracy, while the other is the mainstream view in the village that Lu Yingniang figured it out and saved the girl's life.
However, she believed the first version of events, which slightly changed her opinion of Lu Yingniang.
It is believed that Lu Yingniang at this time still has a bottom line, unlike in her previous life when she was crazy and harmed people without any bottom line.
In this life, some things happened, and some things didn't.
Some things, though they happen, have outcomes that are vastly different from those of a previous life.
This unpredictable and uncertain state left Zhao Honglian both confused and bewildered.
Will the murderer who tortured and killed Lu Xiaoxiao in her past life come again tonight?
……
At 9 p.m., on a mountain road five miles away from Lujiazhuang, stray beams of light kept piercing the dark night sky.
A group of Taoist priests, carrying powerful flashlights, walked cautiously along the narrow path.
"Senior brother, isn't that Lu Family Village we visited last time?"
Zhang Zaiming frowned and looked down the mountain, something seemed strangely familiar.
They have been tracking along the route for half a month, and now they finally have some solid clues.
"Lu Family Village? The one that sells talismans..."
Old Taoist Zhang Zaifeng also stopped. He remembered this small village and the ten talismans he had bought from that country witch doctor.
The disciples initially felt they had been cheated, but their resentment was appeased after they obtained animal bones from the back mountain.
However, during an operation, the disciples discovered that these exorcism talismans and demon-suppressing talismans were terrifyingly powerful.
Not only did they wipe out several evil spirits in one fell swoop, but they almost wiped out their own people as well.
This thing seems to attack indiscriminately, regardless of whether you are an evil spirit or a righteous cultivator.
It will suppress anything within its territory.
When the incident was brought up later, the disciples were all still shaken, exclaiming how terrifying it was.
They don't distinguish between friend and foe!
This is completely different from the talismans they used before; it's terrifying!
Everyone carefully stored away the remaining talismans.
It's decided that I will never use this thing lightly unless it's a matter of life and death.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zaifeng curiously copied the talisman again, but after activating it, its power was actually less than the one he had drawn before.
This frustrated him greatly.
I suspect it's because my magical power isn't pure or profound enough!
Unfortunately, in the vast sea of people, that great master has long since vanished without a trace, leaving only a foolish village woman to play tricks and deceive the world.
"Yes, Senior Brother is right. It's that manor. Could it be that that evil Taoist Yao Yuanlin is planning to wreak havoc on Lu Family Manor?"
Zhang Zaifeng frowned and slowly said:
"Based on the clues we've been following, this sorcerer doesn't seem to have a specific target; each time it appears to be a random act."
The infant spirit he raised has now developed sentience and is capable of devouring people on its own. It seems the infant ghost sensed the scent of someone from Lu Family Village at the foot of the mountain, which piqued its interest.
Zhang Zaiming nodded, agreeing with his senior's opinion.
The infant spirit was extremely powerful, even more so than the demonic cultivator Yao Yuanlin who raised it, and several villages along the way suffered.
Anyone targeted by an infant spirit dies a gruesome death on the spot, their soul devoured.
"Let's go! Go down the mountain. Tonight we'll guard the manor. I want to see if Yao Yuanlin dares to come out and do evil."
The group nodded and then quietly approached Lu Family Village.
At this moment, Lujiazhuang was quiet, with only the occasional bark of a dog.
Zhao Honglian was sitting in her own courtyard, lost in thought under the moonlight, still pondering the matter of her past and present lives.
Her son lay on the bamboo bed beside her, snoring softly.
The husband held a palm-leaf fan in his hand, swatting away mosquitoes.
As Zhao Honglian was lost in thought, a sudden gust of cold wind blew by, and she shivered.
Immediately afterwards, a dark shadow drifted through the air.
Zhao Honglian stared in shock at the dark figure, which landed on the roof of her house and instantly transformed into a snow-white, naked, bald little boy.
This bizarre scene terrified Zhao Honglian so much that she dared not move or even breathe.
The little boy turned and glanced at her; his eyes were completely black, with no whites at all.
His entire eye socket was as dark as an abyss, unfathomable, as if it could sink one's entire soul into it.
Zhao Honglian's body stiffened like an icicle, her teeth chattering, and she stared at him in terror.
The little boy glanced at her, then turned his head expressionlessly and vanished in a flash.
It took Zhao Honglian a long time to catch her breath.
She stirred and turned to look at her husband, who was still squinting and idly fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
The son, sleeping soundly on the bamboo bed, was still snoring softly.
She was as if she had been pulled out of the water; in the blink of an eye, she had experienced a near-death experience.
Tears streamed down Zhao Honglian's face as she forced her lips together, afraid to make a sound.
She was certain that she wasn't seeing things; she really had just seen that ghostly thing.
She trembled, her mouth wide open, breathing heavily and silently, as consciousness gradually returned.
So, ghosts really do exist in this world?!
She stood up shakily from the bamboo chair, slowly moved her still somewhat stiff legs, and walked slowly to her mother-in-law who was lying on the straw mat in the main room.
"Mom--Mom--Wake up---!"
She didn't even dare to call out to people at a normal volume, but instead whispered in her mother-in-law's ear.
